Henry Sanford was re-clected vice
’resident of the Georgia Horticultur

the late meeting in Griffin. {This was
deserved compliment. Mr. Sanford
is a pioneer in the business. He Ims
done as much as any man in the
state to promote and encourage horti
culture.
That Lawn Party on Tuesday Night.
“You can say,” said n charming
young lady, who is very much inter
ested in the success of the lawn party
at Mr. T. C. Mitchell’s, on Tuesday
night, as she sank into tho office chair
reserved for ladies,(the Times Ester
I’RISE office keeps a chair set apart
especially for the Indies) yesterday
morning, “that we nrc going to make
the affair a pleasant one for nil who
attend. The lawn will be lighted up
with Chinese lanterns, and the choic
est ices, ice cream, cake, <£c., served
by bewitching maidens. Then, after
these refreshments have been served
in the open air, an entertainment will
follow in tho parlor. This will .be
the crowning feature of the occasion.
O, I forgot to say,” continued our fair
informant, “that a number of fancy
and useful artie’es will be sold nt aiiC'
tion during the evening.”
By this time she was out of breath;
recovering it, however—interregnums
in a woman’s talk are always brief—
she continued: “And say that the
children and others who cannot conic
after nightfall, will be expected he
tween the hours of 5 and 7 o’clock.
After an intermission of one hour, at
8 o’clock, the real trouble will begin.
Let me see, is that all?” she musingly
said, at this stage.
“O, I have forgotten to s.ty that
Mr. Charley Williams is - going to
play auctioneer for us.”
With this last information the fair
vision disappeared, leaving an aroma
of heliotrope and the ripple of a little
laugh behind, as she looked hack and
saw the confused look of the reporter,
who had not, by the way, been able to
get n a word edge-wise, during the
time.
The reporter’s pencil was soon bus
ily at work, while Miss [stepped
across the street to match a piece of
ribbon to he worn at the lawn party.
No Exoursion.
An earnest effort was made to get a
train for Green Shade to-day (Sun
day) but it has been impossible to do
so, the road being unable to furnish
the cars on account of some excursion
on lower end of the road. This is to
be regretted, as a large number of our
people would have been glnd to have
attended the camp-meeting, who can
not do so if they nave to reninin over
two nights on regular schedule.
The Electric Light Co.
Messrs. Reynolds, Hargrave &
Davis, who arc largely interested in
the Electric Light Co., for Thomas
ville, arc in receipt of a letter from
the Thomson-Houston Electric Co.,
in which they say that Mr. Btiilcn,
the gentleman who is to have the
poles put up and the wires placed,
will be here very shortly and go
ahead with the work. The Thomson-
Houston Co., arc very much behind
with their orders, and hence the delay
so far. Mr. Hargrave informs us
that the poles arc all ready for erect
ing, cross bars ready, dinamo ready to
put up, and that the light can lie
turned on, he thinks, l>y 1st Septem
ber. We shall Ire glad to sco it.
Improving.
The S.. F. & W. R. R. is filling in
the crossing on Jackson street at the
railroad (that is, the space between
the rails) with rock. The workmen
commenced on yesterday, and the
work will be quite an improvement to
RAILROAD RACKET.
the crossing.
The Reunion.
Mr. Sam Hayes returned from Fort
Valley Friday evening, where he had
gone to attend a reunion of the veter
ans of the old Third Georgia. He
reports a delightful time, and speaks
in terms of highest praise of the hos
pitality of the people of Fort Valley.
He was the guest of Mr. Henry Har
ris while thete. The reunion was a
perfect success in every way.
In noticing the temporary change
in the presbyterian pulpit yesterday,
the statement was made that "Mr.
Clisby would occupy Mr. Herbener’s
pulpit during the latters absence.”
\7t should have excepted the second
Sabbath, upon which Mr. Clisby
preaches in Boston.
The drummers Saturday night con
tingent gathered at the Stuart last
night. They are a jolly set, and num
ber nineteen strong.
The Clarion notices the marriage
of Miss Mary Rigsby to Mr. J, T.
Dollars. It might have been abbre
viated thus : Miss Rigsby to Mr. $.
Well, she's got a "dollar” to start with,
any how. Now let her take care of
the dimes.
Is the Richmond and Danville System
Backing the Augusta, Tallahas
see and Gulf.
Last Tuesday, Mr. Blake, of New Vork,
president of the Augusta «fc Carrabcllc Rail
way (Augusta, Tallahassee aird Gulf), and
Colonel Wm. Bailey, ol St. Louis, general
manager; Attorney D.K. Walker, Jr., ami En
gineer Cook, returned to Tallahassee from
Carrabelle, where they had been on a tour
of inspection of the road, says the Apalachi
cola Times. Colonel Baily has hut recently
connected himself with the road, and has
assumed full charge of the entire work from
Carrahelle to Augusta, Ga. He i^^gominent
in Western railroad circles, and it is claimed
that he can control a large sum of money
in this enterprise. Certain it is that lie
telegraphed Mr. C. P. McCormick that the
money necessary to build the road had been
secured, and to meet him in Tallahassee.
Mr. IkCormick obeyed the telegram and ar-
rivefnn Tallahassee Monday last. Mr. Mc
Cormick will be the chief contractor. Mr.
Baily expressed himself as being very much
pleased with the route from Tallahassee to
Carrahelle. Mr. Bailey further said that lie
would build the road, and nt once. The Tal
lahassee people are .very enthusiastic over
the turn of affairs.' It is whispered that the
Richmond and Dan ville system is at the back
of Uiis enterprise. Certain it is that nego
tiations have been pending in that direction.
Everything now points to the road being
pushed through with a rush to Augusta.—
Floridian.
Will Thomnsvillc, as in the ease of
the extension of the F. R. & I?, sys
tem, allow this line to go around her?
There was a time, ami not long ago,
either, when the main line of the F.
R. <fc N. could have been brought by
Thomnsvillc. But now it is generally
conceded that the system will seek an
outlet by another route.
Will the "do nothing” tactics be re
peated in tile case of the road from
Carrahelle to Augusta? There seems
to be a fatality, an unfortunate fatali
ty, shadowing Thomnsvillc, in the
matter of railroad connections. We
literally threw away a golden oppor
tunity to make this a competitive
point, by not bringing the Central to
Thomnsvillc, when the road was built
from here to Albany. Fatal mistake.
Every one sees it now. Again,
Thomnsvillc might have, years ago,
covered tho territory—the short line
from here to Monticcllo—making this
a competitive point in thnt direction,
giving the place a new and competing
lino into Florida, also giving her two
additional lines of steamships to New
York. But she slumbered on, and
the gap is filled, leaving the place,
where it has always been, in the grasp
of one corporation. The record is not
a creditable one to the men of Thom*
illc. And we record it with a feel
ing of sincere regret. But will wc
learn anything from the past bitter
experience ? It is to be seen.
“Willing Workers.”
This society, composed of the yoiia
ladies and girls' belonging to the
Methodist Sunday school aud church,
will give a lawn party at the resi
dence of Mr. T. C. Mitchell, next
Tuesday night. Refreshments will be
served, and the choicest kind, too,
at moderate prices. The occasion
will bring most of the young people
of the town together. That it will be
a very enjoyable affair goes without
saying. Every boy in town is expect
ed to bring his own sweetheart—or
somebody clse’s sweetheart. Remem
ber that the entertainment comes off
on Tuesday night. *
Grand Gala Day at Pablo Beach.
Wc learn from Mr. Van Dyke, the
ticket agent at the depot, that lie lias
been instructed to sell tickets to Pali-
lo Beach on the 0th, for 83, round
trip ; tickets good until the 9th. Par-
lies however, can, by applying to the
ticket agent at Jacksonville, have
time extended to the 12th. Tickets
will be good on any trains.

on the 7th. TJ)erc will be some fine
horse racing, bicycle tournaments,
Ac., during the day, and a grand

yesterday, emphasizes the necessity
ot the completion cf the concrete

will complete the job. This ought,

Church Chimes.
After a week of worry and business
cares; a week of striving and strain'
ing; a week of fighting life’s battles,
the chimes of church bells will call
saint and sinner to the calm, restful
sanctuary this morning, where, forget
ting tiic world, communion may be
had with God ; communion with Him
who said : “Come untoAle all ye who
arc weary and heavy laden, and I will
give you rest.” Hutv the music of
these Sabbath bells peal out, reverber
ating o’er hill and dale, penetrating
even the heart's chambers with their
soft melody, awakening memories of
the long ago, melting the past into the
present: the past with its joys and
sorrows; the present with its cares
and responsibilities. Sweet, peaceful,
restful rest; how the tired, throbbing
brain and exhausted body will gladly
rest; rest from busy thoughts and
physical labor. "The seventh day
thou shalt rest." Divine ordinance,
gracious law', how many weary hearts
has it soothed in the sweet calm of the
Sabbath day ? Life’s tired toilers lay
aside their burdens ; and O, how heavy
some ol them arc ? and rtst on their
journey, ’neath Sabbath shadows.
How grateful they are ! The sons of
toil and labor, refreshed and strength
ened by the wayside, will take up their
burdens again on Monday morning ;
take them up where they were laid
down on Saturday night; take them
up for another week. But another
Sabbath, with its peaceful rest, will
soon come around again, and another,
and another, until, finally, the great
Sabbath of rest shall dawn, when
earth’s weary pilgrims will enter
upon an eternal Sabbath, where there
arc no tired brains and aching limbs.
Happy day ol final rest! It may
dawn for some to-day, to-morrow,
next day, or the dav after. Who can
tell?
"Be ye also ready.”
What We’re Trying to do.
Will you take time to stop and
think—between your Sunday morn
ing meditations—that you are reading
a right live, progressive paper?
"You are getting up a good, reada
ble paper,” said a gentleman yester
day. Coining from the source which
it did, the compliment was appreci
ated. Aud yet how few think to say
a word, a kind, encouraging word, to
tlie editor who conscientiously tries to
get ti|i a readable paper,one free from
malice, slander, back-biting, and mat
ter unsuited to the family circle?
We’re trying to make the Times-
E.NTEKritiSE a clean sheet, a welcome
visitor to every household, a paper,
every line of which can he read to
wife, daughter or sister.
